@lemmy.mlI see several that can push notifications from self hosted services like Gotify, Pushbit, Uptime Kuma, etc. But is there anything that can handle SMS portion that PB does so dang well? I tried KDE Connect and it was not a great experience. But I'll give it another try once my new PC is built, but between my Macbook and my Android phone it was pretty poor. Slow syncing, delays in sending SMS. That sort of thing.
I'm down to selfhost if there's a project already out there, but my searches left me empty handed other than the aforementioned apps.
I'm running my arr stack on Unraid. I set it up using a combination of Trash's guide and Ibracorp's video (linked in same article). Everything had been working well. I believe I made some changes to Qbittorrent's handling of completed torrents, but I honestly don't recall. I've learned my lesson in that regard and am carefully documenting my various self-hosting adventures now.
The issue is when either Radarr or Lidarr download something new, it creates a subfolder called Radarr or Lidarr, then has the new movie/album inside the applicable folder by itself. As a result none of the hardlinks or mover tasks work properly. Sonarr, on the other hand works fine. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could check or change to fix this? So far all my research shows complaints of either app creating its own subfolder per movie or album rather than a new folder named after the app.
Here's an example of radarr having it's own folder created after I deleted it, then queued up a new download. It makes a new 'radarr' folder and puts the finished download in it, instead of 'movies':

I'm basically looking for something like Seafile, that behaves similarly to Dropbox and Google Drive but doesn't sync EVERYTHING to each client. This is incredibly useful as my laptop (macbook pro) only has 256GBs of storage, but often I'll use Seafile to grab files from my Windows 10 PC or phone. I've messed with Syncthing and it works wonderfully, but it wants to sync the whole directory to every endpoint.
The downfall to Seafile is that it chunks your data which allows for version control and the speed at which it works. Which can then be problematic to back that data up. I have a somewhat inelegant workaround which is pointing backup software at the mounted SeaDrive folder and it seems to work.
My question is: Is there something in between that I'm not considering? Something fast like Seafile, but with "selective sync" but preferably syncs the files whole like syncthing?
NOTE: I tried Nextcloud and for my hardware, it runs terribly. So that is out for me. And honestly its too much app for what I need.
After 15+ years of dealing with Microsoft professionally, I'm so done with it. So my next build will be a dedicated Linux box for some gaming but also 3D design for printing (FreeCAD?) and of course Cura for prepping the designs for printing. I'm ready to pull the trigger and want to check with Linux folks before I do in case there are any glaring compatibility issue or shortcoming I'm overlooking. I've already purchased some parts, marked as $0.00 below.
NOTE: I picked AM5 because I don't upgrade often, but would like the option to stay with the platform when CPU prices drop, for example. But I'm open to suggestions!

This lovely community helped me find a few great FOSS options to deduplicate my out of control photo library, so thanks to all!
Now I'm wondering if anyone knows of an app that can scan a library full of digital music and auto assign (or auto correct) ID3 tags. Similar thing with the photo dilemma. I'd rip my collection to FLAC or MP3 and do a half-assed job naming and categorizing the files because I got lazy. So now my music collection has a bunch of albums listed erroneously as "various artists" for example.
Also, if you're digitizing stuff now, please don't be a moron like me and take the time to organize as you go. Good grief what a mess. Thankfully I've learned that lesson as I digitize old 35mm slides for my parents to save!
TL;DR @ bottom
Over the last year I've dove head first into selfhosting various services and apps on an UNRAID server. It's my first real experience with Linux short of fiddling with a dual boot of Pop!_OS. So that alone has already been quite the ride. Thankfully, UNRAID supports docker compose and has it's own Community App store where there are very few extra steps to get an app to work short of installing dependencies (MariaDB, Postgres, Redis, etc).
I am trying to be militant in my backups of mostly important files. Critical documents and photos, that sort of thing. Right now I have two copies on the same Win10 PC (two different drives) that backup nightly to iDrive. I recently started testing Backblaze Personal as well from the same computer. What I want to do is get to a point where the other Win10 PCs, MacOS laptops, and my yet to be built Linux desktop are all backed up to the server locally, then shuttled off to something like B2 on a nightly basis. Seemingly there is absolutely no consensus on the best cross platform app to backup the various clients. I currently have Time Machine backing up the laptops to the server, but that's it. Nothing else in the house is touching the server outside of Immich pulling photos from phones when we're back on network.
I keep trying to wrap my head around the CLI only options like Restic, Borg, and Kopia but I can't get to a point that I'm confident enough to ensure I'm backed up and safe as far as data integrity. So that led me to apps with GUIs. I've tried UrBackup, BackupPC, KopiaUI, and Duplicacy. That last one is the only one I can get to work reliably and that is backing up server data to B2 right now. I'm still in my trial period for it so nothing set in stone in that regard.
I did see Vorta for Borgbase, but it doesn't have a Win10. UrBackup refuses to work with MacOS for whatever reason. KopiaUI can't see directories on the server which I'm guessing is permissions issues and the client side won't accept an http://ip:port
address, instead requiring https and I'm not sure if that's possible to get around. BackupPC I can't get to connect to the clients and that project seems somewhat stale with no updates in the last few years.
I'm comfortable hunting for solutions but seemingly the various support forums have a lot of assumptions in regards to prior knowledge of these products and I'm just not connecting the dots.
TL;DR: I apologize that this is so lengthy, but I'm honestly just not sure what to do at this point. I need (in my mind) the following as a solution:
Anyone have any advice on either solutions or resources I can dig into to accomplish this?
Over the years, my photo library has been managed by numerous apps (Picasso, iPhoto, gthumb, etc) and stored in multiple cloud and local drives. As a result I have a number of duplicates that I'd like to eliminate for easier organization. Is there a FOSS app that would assist with this task?
I just started renting a basic VPS through Racknerd with the intent to use it as a reverse proxy to point friends to my game server instances running at home without exposing my public IP. I could not figure out how to get it to work so I gave up after days of trying and am now using playit.gg. I prepaid for a year of the VPS. What cool project should I try on it now?
